Libra: The just and balance bringer of fall

Article by: Allan Ward - @Wander_AW

So you were born on September 23 - October 22, congrats you are a Libra. As the bringer of fall a Libra is another cardinal sign, to find out more about that click here. 

Libra’s are a scale of justice and reason, being based on the god Themis. Themis also had a daughter who went to the heavens as the constellation of Virgo (the virgin) carrying the scales to her mother. Making sense why it would be placed between the constellations Scorpio and Virgo. Another congratulations is in order as they’re the only inanimate object in the zodiac, I mean someone had to be right? Lions, Bulls,  and mythical fish goats.  Oh my. (Talking to you Capricorn..)  All jokes aside though let's be real, out of all the signs in the zodiac the ensemble of order and balance is your forte. After all you are a scale.  

Being the justice figure of the zodiac you show this with your thoughtfulness. Taking others into account sometimes at the expense of being gaslighted, but hey everyone needs a fair shoot in life right. As with most Air signs your ability to see through things for what they are is impeccable. Let's be real, you are the real lawyer in the friend group. That being said if you befriend this individual just know as the lawyer and just person they will not be afraid to call you out. However that's only when your character is on the line. Libras do not go out seeking violence more often they are the peace corps. 

That brings me to another point, a Libra absolutely loves the underdogs. Talk about a cheer squad when you're down in the fourth quarter, a Libra is the person you want when cards are stacked against you. They're extroverted, often seeking others as companions outside their normal circle. This knack for taking in the underdogs though, can get them into the wrong crowd. Other than this caveat they are a funny character in any setting. 

Even though a Libra can be a pity party under the surface level more often though, they try to look on the positive side of life. When doing things they have high hopes. That's probably the reason they get a little frustrated when their picturesque ideals don't go accordingly.  After all they seek balance in everything and detest when life throws them a curveball more often than they would like. 

Being intelligent is natural to them though in a more witty off the cuff persona. Cracking jokes is their forte and bringing smiles to anyone is not hard. Conversations with a Libra are nothing short of pursuits of cranial expansion. Likewise they need others to feed their constant need for mental stimulus.  If they can’t talk on your level, good luck garnering their attention. Libra’s are socialites crafting and forging ways to go into the fray of communal, tribal, ritualistic human behavior. Lawyers as you know need this in the pocket if they are going to win cases after all. 

Okay I have mostly talked on the good points so lets oil the rust off the issues Libra’s may have. First they can be indecisive weighing (literally get it they are a scale) every option. Money can be a finicky thing for them as they have a huge admiration for art and the likes. Being a sign of the law they can be vindictive when scorned, more so than other signs. They’re not a bad friend, but due to the amount of socializing libra’s do, they can't be everywhere so often they flake out. Other than these small nitpicks, as a Leo I will say I would love to have a Libra in my ball court. 

Oh yes by the way, here's the most famous libra’s.

Eminem, Vladimir Putin, Will Smith, Confucius, Serena WIlliams, Avril Lavigne, Lil Wayne, Dwight D Eisenhower
